Declared, inferred, registered: the three ways a tool knows a cross-repo dependency exists
Parsed vs inferred is a two-horse race that hides a third runner: registered. How declared, inferred, and registered dependency tools each know an edge exists.

What version constraints actually look like across real Terraform estates
A version constraint feels like a fact about what's running. It's a record of what the author allowed. I measured how that plays out across four real Terraform estates.

Monorepo vs polyrepo: the debate is measuring the wrong thing
Monorepo vs polyrepo is argued as a code-location debate. The real variable is whether "what depends on this" is queryable — and infrastructure never got a vote.

Repo access was never the hard part
The multi-repo agent race is solving repository access. But access is plumbing — the cross-repo dependency graph is the part nobody upstream is parsing.

Inferred context is not a dependency graph
An enterprise context engine makes your agent generate better code. A parsed dependency graph is the thing you gate a deploy on. Two jobs, two kinds of machinery, and why a confidence score is the wrong guarantee for the second one.

The State of Infrastructure Dependency Tooling in 2026
An honest survey of the infrastructure dependency tooling landscape in 2026 — what Backstage, Renovate, HCP Terraform Explorer, Nx, Wiz, and DIY scripts each solve, where they fall short, and the gap that none of them fill.

Auto-Discovering Infrastructure Dependencies Across 10 Ecosystems
A technical deep-dive into auto-discovering cross-repo dependencies across Terraform, Docker, CI pipelines, Python, Go, npm, Ansible, Helm, Kubernetes, and Kustomize — and why each ecosystem fights back.
